"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.

There's plenty of discussion lately about removed reports and tweets lately when reporters have been under duress by militants. Some have questioned, at the very least, why editors have not added a disclaimer so that readership will know.

A couple examples:Twice this week, Wall Street Journal reporters posted on Twitter statements and photos implicating Hamas — but then quickly deleted their tweets. - www.camera.org/index.asp?x_con…A television reporter from Finland’s Helsingin Sanomat, the “Helsinki Dispatch,” spent the night reporting from Gaza’s Al Shifa Hospital, where she saw Hamas militants launching a rocket from the hospital’s parking lot, confirming a war crime that few journalists have dared report. - www.tlvfaces.com/finnish-tv-reporter-gazas-al-shifa-hospital-true-rockets-launched-gazan-side-israel-video/

And I couldn't find this story in a leading media outlet:Hamas has been shooting Palestinians to quell unrest in the Gaza Strip. - www.worldtribune.com/2014/07/3…

Personally, I can understand why information is quelled. If you want safety while you film ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc. you have to accomodate them, otherwise, you will not get the images you need -- a few sad/scared Israelis is no match for a blown up Mosque/rocket-cache in Gaza with children sitting on it crying. However, once you get out the images the militants wanted out, don't you have some obligation to explain the images and reports come from a source with a history of misleading information?

The only example I've seen of this being done was a questioning on Saeb Erekat (on CNN), claiming 90% of casualties are women and children. This is the same guy that in 2002 promised CNN "no less than 500 massacred [in Jenin]" and later, when confronted with his lies, argued Ariel Sharon did a coverup on the bodies.... why is he interviewed again??

To the point -- what do you think should/can be done to give the public more than just ratings, but also a more neutral and journalistic perspective on what is going on in battles where duress is applied on reporters who need to be there in order to get the images out?

In Arabic:The brave Jihad fighter against the colonialist Zionist occupation of Islamic lands. Mr. "Palestine is from the sea to the river" and "The gun is our only response to [the] Zionist regime." himself.Fighting alongside Hamas and the other heroic Gaza muqawama.Oppressed by Israel. Ismail Haniyeh

When the Palestinians engage in negotiations ... they are engaged in negotiations management and conflict management. ... We are engaged in negotiations management and in crisis management, and in conflict management ... The negotiations constitute a form of crisis management, and they buy us time until the balance of power in the region changes.

When we say that the settlement should be based upon these borders, President [Abbas] understands, we understand, and everybody knows that the greater goal cannot be accomplished in one go. ... If one says that one wants to wipe Israel out... C'mon, it's too difficult. It's not [acceptable] policy to say so. Don't say these things to the world. Keep it to yourself.

The latter is estimated as the probable successor to the current Palestinian Authority president.

Reported "Art work" - phantom.deviantart.com/art/Isr… -- Editor initially posted the real flag of Israel and promoted it on an Israeli group page in order to get favourites from Israelis. Then, he changed the flag image to this hate art saying "Isra-hell".

You have to understand the Arab mentality in the middle east. From the beginning of Mahmoud Abaas, who is considered secular, all the way to the fundamentalists, the denial of the holocaust is the premiss of this education. So we denied the holocaust ever existed. So if we see the footage of the holocaust in the middle east we say, "How do they have such scrawny bodies? What kind of a diet plan were they on?", because [in our minds] the the whole thing was an enactment, it wasn't reality. [We thought] This was an enactment to [help] establish the Zionist state.

--Earlier "spelling it out" moment:

An "artist" here has responded to an old comment of mine with the following:

3) Hate-Art on devArt... -- devi-antisemetic-Art??? (click the FAV button)-- there's some clear issues of severe hate art on this site -- A simple deviantArt search for: "Zionism", or "Israel" produces some shockingly antisemitic imagery. I still hope DA will start taking this issue more seriously.

p.s. you see hate art or libellous and/or antisemitic materials? Report it. If it doesn't help, try the people above the reviewers - about.deviantart.com/ .

yeah, thats what you all stupid people say when something comes up that proves how much of a hypocrite you all are.

"never heard of him" , "we'd never say such a thing" ...everything you say, everything you do, everything you are is just a pack of LIES. You are all so filthy, worst than animals.

And you know inside yourself that youre wrong. You might show the world some sympathy for Palestine, but you're just doing it to get support, cause inside ourself, youre all thinking like that guy. As I've said, even animals behave better than you.

You think you're THE ONE? God's chosen people? that's total BS, you're all just possessed by the devil big time. You're seriously starting to become like hitler.
